colonel of Greer's Third Texas Cavalry,

colonel of Greer's Third Texas Cavalry,
organized at Dallas. His first smell Of
powder was at Oak Hills, Mo-, August 10,
| 1861, where his horse was killed under
! him in a charge on battery. His next
fl int was that known as Chustinallah,
against the PIN Indians in the winter OF
| 1862, where another horse was killed
under him. Passing hurriedly from
winter quarters on the Arkansas river,
under orders from McCulloch, he was ia
McIntosh's charge on the masked bat
teries of the federals, supported by in
| fantrY, four miles north of BentonvilIe,
Ark, in which our troops entered the
/ heel of q crescent shaped column, rest
| ing on sloptng hill, receiving direct as
well as cross-fre from both sides. Yet,
he, with some sixty others, passed
! through unsCathed, while the main body
fell back.
Next day came the main battle OF Elk
! horn, in which McCulloch and Mcintosh
/ fell, while Lane had an eighth horse killed
under him in McIntosh's grand and sue
cessful charge on two batteries, sup
| ported by infantry.
| Immediately afterwards transferred to
/ Corinth, Miss, he was in the battle OF
Pennington, and on the withdrawal of
our troops from that region, Beauregard
! placed him in tn command of the rear
guard Il (if our memory serves Us righD
only 246 men. Charged by an OverWhelm-
! ing force, he met them with such havoc
as to cause e panic and routed them,
killing incredible numbers. For this
brilliant action he was COmplimented in
! general orders, read on parade TO each
regiment of the army, and the name Of
the battle ordered to be placed on the
regimental flag.
Colonel Lane then came west of
the Mississippi and raised a new
regiment, with which he went with his
accustomed COnstancy Into and through
all the subsequent campaigns in Arkansas
/ Oud Louisiana. In the meantime, for
his many distinguished acts of gallantry,
and his uniform good conduct as an Off
Ger, he was Justly promoted to the rank
| of BTig8dier- General, which position,
pure and unsulIied, he held when the fiat
went forth announcing the surrender Of
! the Confederate armies.
In June, 1868, General Lane was in the
raid that crossed the Atchafalaya river al
MOrgan's ferry, in Louisiana, thence
passed do Rn the rear of DOnaldsOnville
